Why was Michael Jackson stigmatised so harshly?

Perhaps. I'm trying to be fair.

I've never owned any of his albums, but he's got a lot of songs that are really well-put-together. I don't care for much of his body of work, as derivative as he could be on occasion

Oh. I mean... did you see the full list of evidence thump?

I'm trying to be fair too. With that evidence the likelihood of him being innocent is close to nothing right?

Smooth Criminal is classic, the man could dance, and the mv was hot - dat lean.  However, mj was a child molesting piece of shit.  I doubt that he molested any children while he was belting out the hits, I can enjoy his songs regardless of that - genius is genius, but it isn't an all inclusive pass. A person can be good at songs and bad at life.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I never really liked his kind of music. But I agree with you on that. If we go down the path of damnatio memoriae, we'd have to include Lewis Carroll too. He's at least rumored to not having the cleanest thoughts when he wrote Alice in Wonderland for his child muse.

When I think of Jackson though, this is always at the forefront of my memory.

Never liked Thriller. It bores me.

I'm a junkie for the subplot of the mini-movie intro/outtro.  Plus, Vincent Price, I mean, cmon.....? They were way ahead of the zombie thing, on that one, lol.
